“God-Fearing” Was the Most Powerful Control Spell Ever Cast

Routines Keep the Mood Clean. Content Warning.
Routines can help keep the mood clean—well, cleaner. I struggle with Bipolar Disorder, and if you do too, then welcome. This is a place to learn something and own it with a great attitude. I won’t lie—it’s hard. The highs, the lows, the mania-fueled spending sprees, and the drawer full of half-baked hobbies. You know the one.

God, the Narcissist, and the Shadow That Saves
This is not a story about good versus evil. It is not light against dark, or God against the Devil. It is the myth of oneness: how God uses shadow to teach, how the predator becomes the teacher, how the abyss itself can become the threshold to your rising, your refinement, your rebirth.
